slIinny, Pa, shot limsclI,iral, i'll the woods
recently. He had been for some time a rclig
, ious monomaniac, and a note was founo
pinned to his coat saying he had shot himsel
because he was without hope for the mex
world.
John T. Oxner, a farmer in Newberry
county, .. c., was killed by a colored mar
whom he ordered off his place.
Henry Wards, the town marshal of Ward
S. c., has been dangerously shot by a coloreG
man who was resisting arrest.
Mrs. Charles Schaetfer of Brooklyn, L. T.,
was shot and killed by George Gaebein,
While walking on path across his garden.
Gaeblein buried the woman's body in a
grave he had dug. The husband of Mrs
Schaetfer came the same way later on and
was also shot by Gaeblen, but received only
slight wounds in the hands. Gaeblein was
arrested. The trouble was of long standing,
and was caused by the Schaetfers using the
path through Gaeblein's property.
The political canvass has been opened in
New York city. The Republicans had a
meeting in Chickering Hall, which was ad-
dressed by Senator Evarts, ex-Mayor Low,
of Brooklyn, Colonel Frederick d. Grant
and Others. At the Five Points, Dr. Nc
Glynn addressed meeting of Italians in the
interest of Henry George. A ratification
meeting was held by the Progressive Labor
party on the plaza on the north side of
Union Square. A number of George men
interrupted the proceedings by shouts for
Henry George, and the Progresslves asked
the park police to stop them. The officer in
charge of the municipal police, about $50 in
| number, seeing the action of the gray-cOated
| officers, thought a riot had begun and brought
his men into action. The result was charge
| upon the mass of the people in the square
and the clearing out of Progressives and dis
turbers alike. Finally the gray policemen
explained the situation to the blue. and the
commandant of the municipal police then
assured the managers the Progressive meet
| ing that the heinterference of his force was ow-
ing to misapprehension, and the meeting
was reorganized. In the charge of the police
many persons were badly hurt. Other ac-
counts say that the police deliberately inter
fered for the purpose of preventing the speak
ers from addressing the meeting, and would
not listen to any explanations. Their action
was severely denounced by Colonel Hinton
ana Otner speakers.
The marine hospital bureau in Washing
ton has received telegram from Deputy
Collector Spencer at Tampa, Fla, in which
he says there are twenty-six cases of sickness
in all; that two deaths have occurred; that
the majority of the sick are convalescing;
that the town is depopulated and very little
material left. He says the doctors disagree
as to whether the disease is dengue or yellow
fever. Dr. George w. Stoner chief of the
quarantine division, says that if it is dengue
there is no cause for alarm nor necessity for
rigid quarantine, but if doubt exists it is
proper to act on the side of safety. Dengue, or
as it is sometimes called, breakbone fever, is
very distressing infectious disease-not con-
tagious i'll the usual acceptation Of the term
and rarely fatal unless complicated with
other disease. Dengue prevailed in the West
Indies and many places in the South about
fifty years ago and was prevalent in several
Southern cities in 1850, especially in Charles
ton, where about four-fifths ofthe population
were attacked, but only few deaths rela-
lively occurred. In yellow fever the NOR
tality is sometimes as high as seventy five |
per cent. Frost kills the disease Dr. Stone |
believes the disease at Tampa to be yellow |
fever.
In an article published in St. Louis re-
Gently it was said that a secret investigation
promised to expose gigantic ring among
Eastern manufacturers and New York and
Boston custom-house officials, respecting the
importation of wool at a great undervalua-
ton. Special Agent Montgomery, of the
New York custom house. said the story was
a very old chestnut which is sprung every
once in while when the WOO, market is
depressed. Collector Magone said that to the
est of his belief it was canard.
In the United States Circuit Court at Rich
mond, Va, Judge Bond fined Attorney Gen
eral Ayres $500 for bringing suits under the

paid. The Commemorative attorneys of
Fauquier and Loudon counties were also
fined for disobeying the same order and COM
mitted until the fines are paid and the suits
dismissed. The attorney general and Attor

made to the Supreme Court of the United
